Is my life abnormal?

I'm feeling a bit lost on this so I thought I'd make a story about about it and see if it's too far from normal.
I don't interact with people at all; I'm mostly apathetic to people, but lately I'm starting to worry about my future, like being happy, finding a partner and such. I want to have that but at this rate I don't see it happening at all.
This is my life:
I wake up
go to lectures
spend breaks alone or studying
come home
stay in my room all the time
eat, sleep, repeat.
All this while not speaking more than a sentence or two.

Most of the time I don't mind, but fuck I wonder sometimes where is this getting me... I'll just end up skilled in everything but emotion and personality, and alone.
By the way there's nothing inherently wrong with my appearance (I'm actually often told I'm good looking); I just prefer being alone.
Do you guys consider my life too far from normal or can you relate?
Also, would it be necessary for me to change myself to find relationships?

Any advice on the topic would be freaking greatly appreciated.

    To be honest, it is very normal.

    You are NOT an Anti-Social. No matter what, do not let anyone convince you are otherwise.

    Being in college/university is a very fast paced life. The constant streams of new faces, since highschool, and the semesters can deter young adults to actually seek a
    social life.

    Find a hobby, fishing or reading a book, and join clubs. You might meet other people like you that share the same feelings.

    Do not worry however, just be yourself and don't change who you are by being someone else.

    Hope this helps

    I doubt anyone with Autism would make a post like this, I don't think they would think anything was wrong with them or that they were socially inept.

    It's probably just social anxiety-you're unsure or not confident in your social skills so you avoid interaction and even convince yourself that you prefer to be alone when that probably isn't 100% true.

    Social anxiety is not a big deal, almost everyone has some degree of anxiety. Doctors or psychiatric professionals can help you with techniques and/or medications.

    You gotta get out there to meet people. U may find u feel better interacting with people instead of spending so much time on your own.

    Yeah your probably going to be known as that quiet creepy person in the corner lighting their sleeve threads on fire like I was. It wouldnt kill ya to make an effort to be more sociable.

    Remember to add viable input to conversations of boring, suicide inducing small talk and dont look at chicks tits when your talking to them. They dont like that... unless theyre hookers.

    Not enough info you shared but, I'd say - no. As 1 other person suggested (Asperger's = a psych disorder-although I'm not sold on that diagnosis) I'd venture to guess that you might be depressed. Maybe your serotonin, norepinephrine, and/or dopamine levels are off balance (neurotransmitters in our brains responsible for mood, behaviors, etc)
    It's not necessarily your actions that suggest that to me, but rather your thoughts.. Your .lack of interest & isolation are the big things of concern. I'd make an appt with your primary care physician & discuss it with him or her. (just a suggestion - a D.O. might help more than an M.D. They treat their patients holistically, which is "as a whole person" rather than focusing on treating a disease or disorder, as M.D.'s are trained to do. As an RN, not only did I have a D.O.as my PCP for 23 yrs (he's sick w/pancreatic cancer now & sold his practice) but I plan on finding another D.O. asap, but I always recommended D.O.'s to my patients who asked me for a referral. Good luck & Godspeed.

    If you don't find most ppl interesting than join a group that have the same interests that you do . Get out of your comfort zone and try some new things and you may find some new interests and at the same time new friends . For what ever reason you may be one of those ppl who aren't overly social. One or two good friends can make a huge difference in the quality of your life but friendships take work and time to grow .

    A bit normal, to be quite honest, unusual life isn't abnormal, I ain't abnormal either. However you could get social, spend more time with your friends, great. Fascinating.

    I was like that in middle school I would say a few sentences the whole week and i was severly depressed and the only thing that made me feel better was knowing that I would go to high school and make new friends. I have. so no it's not normal but life is really just a series of phases. You only have to change if your bored of it or are unhappy. I know people like you too and there content maybe slowly break out of your shell if you wanna talk then talk

    Some people are hermits & they're happy that way. Look up "Dugout Dick" on google as an example. He lived in a cave by himself and was happy. If you're happy the way you are, then it's not wrong. If you're not happy or you're worried that something is wrong with you, talk to a counselor/therapist at school.

    It sounds to me like you might have Aspergus syndrome, and quite a heavy version of it too. IS there like one thing in your life that you're totally obsessed with? My Gf's little brother has it, his obsession is bionicles, and my friend Liam has it, his is Anime and Manga.

    Do you ever find yourself oblivious to hints or jokes etc?
    It's a form of Autism, look it up

      Unless she/he is a high functioning autistic she wouldn't know there was anything wrong.

      Who can have Asperger's, do you have Asperger's? What if Asperger's was free for everyone, everyone has Asperger's. Oh what a wonderful slice of cake, you're welcome my lady, I be polite to all of the Asperger's and I'll let everyone else be rude. She's normal without the black magic of the queen of the slime, she's the apple of the eye, the cream of the cream, the normalest businesslady in the world, queen of the mundane and boring, and a little bit fascinating. Go to the Asperger's queen, she won't tolerate the whims of your autism, she wants you to be rational, queen's orders, be epicurean she says, because she's the Asperger's queen, and try not to act like an Asperger's she says, you're the proud gentlewoman of the rim-rim galaxy.

      • So your point is that normality is what ever you want normal to be? That's fine but that doesn't mean that because one person finds something normal that the majority of the species agreewith you. You can find something normal while many others find something abnormal, what one do you think will be seen more.

  • don't worry there's plenty of time and you sound like your on the right track. you're working towards your future careerwise, now you can concentrate on how to build relationships. you have to be brave and get out and get involved in things. it doesnt really matter what, try lots of activities but study first

    I do lots of things by myself and feel reclusive at time so I think your situation is normal. My advice would be for you to talk to people and not be afraid to express yourself and eventually you will find someone you want to be friends with. It might take a while but once this happens, you should make a legitimate effort to be their friend. Anyways, I read a chapter from a book once on friendship and it totally changed my opinion on the idea. It might sound silly but there is a lot that goes into a good friendship and they are hard to find.
